After the system announcement ended, all the players started looking for a place to log off.
Although everyone was complaining about the system upgrade, God's Domain was about to reach nightfall. Even if they were in God's Domain, there was nothing much they could do. All they could do was trade for the day's harvest, chat with their companions, and have some fun.
Shifeng took advantage of this time to immediately run to Red Leaf Town's Auction House to purchase items. Ores, herbs, and various materials. As long as it was a rare material, he bought them all. After filling his bag with everything he could buy, he even thought of running back to the Bank to buy more.
However, the system reminded him that he had less than 3 minutes left before he could log off. It was already too late.
"Hah, I can only buy this much." Shifeng looked at the time, helplessly sighing.
Fortunately, he had earned quite a bit of money from his previous transactions. He was even able to buy over 10 Gold worth of materials.
Following which, Shifeng headed to a hotel to log off.
Along the way, many players were extremely excited about the system upgrade. They all started discussing with each other. Everyone was looking forward to the benefits this system upgrade would bring.
Shi Feng only wanted to chuckle in response to this.
God's Domain's evolution did indeed bring benefits. However, there were many unexpected things.
After arriving at the hotel, Shifeng spent 10 Copper Coins to rest in the hotel for a day.
The other players saw that Shifeng actually spent 10 Copper Coins to stay in the hotel. 10 Copper Coins was their income from grinding monsters for five to six hours. They simply had too much money to spend. However, when they saw that Shifeng had reached Level 7, they did not dare to discuss this matter. A Level 7 in Red Leaf Town was definitely the pinnacle of existence. If they angered Shifeng, it was not impossible for them to be killed back to Level 0. After all, such things happened frequently in Red Leaf Town. They could only secretly despise Shifeng in their hearts.
Truly, the rich can be willful!
Shifeng minded his own business and entered the hotel room. He did not bother to explain to these players why he chose to stay in the hotel instead of finding a random place to log off.
As the sun rose, Shifeng got up and took off the advanced virtual helmet. It was already 8 in the morning, the time for his usual morning training.
At this moment, his phone rang. The caller ID displayed was Hei Zi.
"Hei Zi, did something happen?" Shifeng asked curiously as he answered the call. Normally, Hei Zi would not take the initiative to contact him unless something major happened.
"Brother Feng, something big has happened. Hurry up and turn on the TV. It's being broadcasted on the news right now. Almost every TV program has it." Hei Zi was panting heavily and sounded very excited. If one didn't know better, they would think that she was doing some kind of intense exercise.
Shifeng switched on the small, shabby TV in the rented apartment and casually changed the channel. He found that every channel was broadcasting the news.
"Today, at 5 AM, the majority of the world's top 1,000 financial groups announced their intention to enter God's Domain and promote the development of the virtual economy. At the same time, they also established their own God's Domain Workshops."
"Latest report on God's Domain. According to official statistics, due to a large number of global corporations investing in God's Domain, the various sales outlets selling God's Domain's virtual reality headsets were overcrowded in less than three hours. The number of players in God's Domain suddenly increased by 800 million, and the number of players online simultaneously reached 1.8 billion, breaking the world record for online virtual reality games."
…
Various news regarding God's Domain continuously appeared on the TV. At the same time, they were promoting the idea of turning God's Domain into a second world for mankind, encouraging everyone to experience the game and promoting the Main God System's collection of data to perfect God's Domain. The price of the virtual reality headset dropped from 8,000 Credits to 4,000 Credits. Meanwhile, the price of the advanced virtual reality headset remained the same, as did the price of the virtual reality cabin.
"They sure came quickly." Shifeng only smiled faintly after seeing these reports. He did not feel surprised at all.
Although he did not know why, this report had come slightly earlier than expected.
In the past, these reports had only been published ten days after God's Domain's launch. Due to the presence of these major corporations, virtual reality games had also received a lot of attention. The entire virtual gaming world had also been set ablaze, and the gaming experts of the past had all started playing God's Domain. The few remaining popular virtual reality games had also closed down, and all of them had been transferred to God's Domain. Suddenly, the number of players in God's Domain had skyrocketed, and the competition had also become even more intense.
Virtual reality games all shared a unifying characteristic, and that was that resources were limited. However, if the same town, which originally had a population of several thousand, suddenly had a population of over ten thousand, the number of players competing for resources would also increase. Naturally, the price of items would also increase.
"So, that's how it is." Shifeng suddenly came to a realization.
No wonder there were so many people buying the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design. It turned out that these major corporations had entered God's Domain. There were also 800 million players that had entered God's Domain. These players were all Level 0, so naturally, they would need a lot of equipment. Naturally, they would not hesitate to purchase the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design and forge a large number of Glimmer Chestplates, making a huge profit.
"Unfortunately, these newcomers really came at the wrong time." Shifeng expressed his sympathy towards these newcomers. They had come at the wrong time, and they just had to come right after God's Domain's first evolution. They were destined to have a hard time.
The evolution of God's Domain was a self-evolution of the game. However, right now, nobody understood the meaning behind this matter. They would only understand it after experiencing it.
The reason why Shifeng used the word 'evolution' instead of 'level up' was because evolution represented evolution and adaptation. This was the meaning of 'survival of the fittest'. When players lived in God's Domain, the Main God System would constantly collect various kinds of data. When this data reached a certain level, a qualitative change would occur. In other words, the player would level up and evolve.
Virtual reality was a fantasy world that allowed players to experience the pinnacle of reality. However, the process of evolving from virtual reality to reality was simply too difficult. Not to mention, this was a surreal world where magical superhumans existed. Hence, the Main God System was created. The purpose of its existence was to make God's Domain even more realistic, constantly perfecting and evolving God's Domain.
Shifeng felt that the main culprit behind this evolution should be him.
This was because God's Domain had only cleared the Hell Mode Team Dungeon one month after its launch. Following which, God's Domain began to level up. Now that they had cleared the Hell Mode Team Dungeon, the system immediately announced that it had leveled up, greatly increasing their progress.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng suddenly felt that he needed to be even more careful in the future.
If not for his good luck this time, encountering Twilight Echo's Shiuse Qiangwei and earning over ten million Credits in one go, Shifeng still felt like he was dreaming. It would have been impossible for him to earn so much money in the future.
If not for this huge profit, the arrival of major corporations and the system's evolution would have severely disrupted his plans for the rise of God's Domain.
After reading these reports, Shifeng continued to train his body. This was a daily routine. Now that major corporations had entered God's Domain, every corporation had poached many veteran gaming experts and newcomers with great potential. There were even many fighting competition experts among them. Their standards in God's Domain were not something ordinary people could compare to. It would not take long for them to become experts. If they had the right guidance, their improvement speed would definitely soar.
The arrival of these people could be said to be a massive blow to God's Domain.
In order to maintain their advantage, Shifeng needed to train his body even more diligently. He needed to increase the rate at which he absorbed the energy from the Nutrient Fluids, providing more nutrients to his brain and increasing his brain's activity. This way, he could better improve his combat power in God's Domain.
After completing his morning training, Shifeng prepared to head out to buy some more Nutrient Fluids. He also planned to look for a new house with a good environment. Living in such a poor environment was not good for his body. Since he had earned quite a bit of money now, it was time for him to move.
